Awhile back I decided to use a film camera and take some photos from this year's NXNE Festival in Toronto. Bought a roll of B&W Illford 36 exposure film. Wanted to see what the results were on printed photo/film. Took me awhile to get the film developed and scanned the good photos I took (Wish I got a better scanner. Anyone know a good brand to buy?) It would be too much to type up on which acts [...]
This is the story of NXNE told through the perspective of its softer moments, of the things that were there before and will remain to stay long after the last hashtag.

If you've ever got me on the topic of local music, you've probably been on receiving end of five-to-ten minute rant about the disappointing lack of diversity and influence in the Winnipeg scene. In a city so rich with talent, backed by a fiercely loyal community holding it up, it's a shame that nearly all artists end up falling back on the very overdone folk-roots-singer/songwriter genre. It's a not as if that's a bad thing on its own, but when it feels like the only option against a sea of musicians, it certainly leaves a lot to be desired. [...]

It's nice when we can put the worry's of the outside world behind us and just concentrate on important things like what new albums are coming out this week. I am pretty stoked for Those Darlins new album Be Your Bro , mostly because they are cool gals AND their music is good AND I like the word "Bro"... bro. OK... as it turns out it's just a single and the song is called Be Your Bro . Most people would have just re written that whole thing, but I believe in owning up to your [...]

Not a blockbuster week like last week was for indie album releases, but there are still some compelling new records you might want to know about.
